COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Jamie Morrison on today's match…
"Overall, I'm happy with today's performance. We had a small blip in the third set, but then fixed that right away in the fourth. The SEC is a grind, and any win is a good win in this league."
Â
Coach Morrison on the team's ability to spread the offense…
"We have a lot of good volleyball players, and not just the six on the court, but the entire 14 on our roster. We have a lot of talent which allows us to run our offense in a lot of different ways and keep people off balance."
